We are so happy to have met Feb and her family, they are very thoughtful and generous hosts. Because the building that the cozy studio was in was still under construction, they moved us after two nights to their larger apartment two BTS stations down and gave us a great deal. The studio itself was lovely, small but with everything you needed, and a comfy bed, minutes away from On nut BTS, a large Tesco supermarket, and local night market. Once the building is finished, this will be a perfect place to explore Bangkok from!
Feb's father Peter was very kind in picking us up and helping us move to the new apartment.
Being able to stay at this larger 2 bedroom apartment was a breath of fresh air for us. Though only five minutes walk from Udom suk BTS station, it was so quiet and peaceful, being removed from the main road. We have been travelling for months now, so it was wonderful to be able to spread out and relax. While the bed was on the firm side, everything else was great - wifi is fast, the living room with tv and couch is comfortable, a very efficient hotplate as well as a microwave makes cooking easy, several coin operated laundromats within the apartment complex, and an awesome local food market nearby - with fresh food and ready-made curries and veg dishes!
Being in Bangkok in Dec - Jan is ideal - the weather is a wonderful 20-25 C, and not humid at all. We will definitely be in touch with Feb and her family when we come back!
